ਸਦਾ ਸਦਾ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤਿ ॥
sadaa sadaa simar din raat.
Forever and ever, remember Him, day and night,
ਊਠਤ ਬੈਠਤ ਸਾਸਿ ਗਿਰਾਸਿ ॥
oothat baithat saas giraas.
while standing up and sitting down, with every breath and morsel of food.
ਜਾਗੁ ਸੋਇ ਸਿਮਰਨ ਰਸ ਭੋਗ ॥
jaag so-ay simran ras bhog.
While awake and asleep, enjoy the essence of this meditative remembrance.
ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਪਾਈਐ ਸੰਜੋਗ ॥੭॥
har simran paa-ee-ai sanjog. ||7||
The Lord's meditative remembrance is obtained by good destiny. ||7||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember the One always, day and night,
standing up and sitting down, with every breath and every bite of food.
Awake or asleep, enjoy the sweet taste of remembering.
Remembering the One comes by good fortune.
The best practice is woven into every small moment of the day.
Here remembrance is woven into ordinary life — 'with every breath and morsel of food' (saas giraas), not set apart in special hours. And it comes as good fortune (sanjog), a gift received. This is the sacred hidden in the everyday.
A Question to Sit With
